10 To 15 Bright Orange Lights In A Long Row Over Lansing Michigan

Date: January 14, 2011
Time: Approx: 6:00 p.m.

Hello, I just wanted to report a sighting that happened just 30 minutes ago. The sighting was just south of I96 and MLK exit 101 just off Holt Rd. My son and I and his friend noticed a long row of bright orange lights. I would say 10-15 of them. In the lead were three orange lights in a triangle pattern. They were moving quite slowly. We noticed them driving south on M99 just past Waverly Rd.

They were off to the west so I turned west on to Holt Rd. I parked the car and got out with lights turned off. The objects were silent and slowly went upwards and one after another like follow the leader, disappeared. Please let me know if you have any other reports of this sighting.

Two Red Amber Lights Over Lansing Michigan

Date: October 20, 2010

Time: 7:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, on October 20th at 7:20pm while driving south on Pennsylvania St., just north of I-496 I saw two red/amber lights traveling northeast at the same speed about a quarter mile apart and ascending on about a 5 degree angle. The two lights stopped and split in-two and one of the lower lights moved to the two upper lights and moved around them going to the top to form a triangle and then to the bottom to form a triangle and then all around them.

After that they seem to just float off to the east and disappear. Very strange.

Reddish Amber Lights Over Lansing Michigan (Photos)

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 9:10 p.m.

Brian, I saw most of the unidentified group last night. I was at Waverly Rd. and Tecumseh River Dr. It was exactly 9:10 p.m. when the came from the Southwest and were heading Northeast.


This is just South of the Lansing Capital City Airport. Surely radar must have detected these. It was a clear sky with no moon of course.

I estimate there were well over 15 of them. They were all the same reddish-amber color, like in the glowing coals of a wood campfire. They seemed to be faintly pulsating.

The first were grouped loosely together with some individual drifting motions between them which indicated they were individual entities.


Quite a few followed in a single line after the initial group but they were not evenly spaced apart. They were totally silent and I estimate altitude to be approximately 5,000 feet.

I was very excited to see these too. I struggled to take pictures of these with my new cell phone camera. I fumbled around with it because I hadn't used the camera function yet. I have attached two pictures that are the best of the lot. They only show specs against the night sky but clearly show the objects colors and the number within first grouping I witnessed.

This is a big deal and the more people who can confirm last night's sighting, the better.

Group Of Orange Lights Over Lansing Michigan

Date: October 8, 2010
Time: Evening.

My brother just saw a group of orange lights moving slowly across the sky. He called me hysterical saying that they moved slowly and made now sound. I thought he was losing it until I started looking on the internet and including your experience this is the 4th time this year that something like this has been reported.
